Miss your bus or train? Have a meeting coming up soon and want to be reminded of it? Too much trouble to create an appointment in iCal or Entourage? Pester can help you create alarms quickly and easily.

What is new in this release:

Use the current date when the Set Alarm window activates and the date isn't currently being edited, which should prevent an old date getting "stuck" and forcing you to explicitly choose today or tomorrow.

Update application icon for Retina displays and modern OS X aesthetics -- thanks to JosA Manuel SAnchez for the contribution.

Don't crash on startup if your default voice is a downloadable enhanced quality ("premium") voice -- thanks to Sven-S. Porst for the report and patch.

Code cleanups and modernization without (intended) changes
in functionality; remove some code which was never used.

Note: This version requires OS X 10.9 or later;
1.1b19 is the last version of Pester to support OS X 10.7 and
10.8.

What is new in version 1.1b19:

- Display messages in help tags in notification alerts, useful when messages are too large to fit.
- Display singular time units (second, minute, etc.) in the popup menu as appropriate.
- Improve speech voice handling: limit the voice pop-up menu's contents to the voices you have enabled in System Preferences; more reliably select non-MacinTalk voices (previously, the default voice was used); do not display "unknown" in the voice pop-up menu; update the voice pop-up menu when voices are enabled or disabled.
- Support natural-language date and time entry on OS X Yosemite (10.10), by linking to Perl 5.16 on OS X 10.9-10.10. Perl 5.12 remains in use on OS X 10.7-10.8.
- Adjust some user interface elements to account for changes in OS X Yosemite.
- Update Developer ID code signing for Apple's changes to Gatekeeper in OS X 10.9.5 and 10.10.
- Work around a bug in OS X 10.10 which initially scrolled the first alarm in the alarm list out of view.
- Update Sparkle to 1.7.1.
- Code cleanups and modernization without (intended) changes in functionality; remove some code which was never used.
- Note: This version requires OS X 10.7 or later; 1.1b18 is the last version of Pester to support Mac OS X 10.6.8.
